Default Wat to buy at Xspeed??

My mates for my 21st B'day gave me a $600 voucher to use at Xspeed.
Just wondering if i could get a few opinions on how to spend that money.

I have an 04 wrx which is standard except for the TBE and ultra low King springs. Any help appreciated


THANKS
RICK

sway bars, bushings, anything suspension related that will help your king springs. Brake pads for sure. maybe have a good look thru there shop stock and see if there are items to suit your car that might be older stock and they might give you some discount on as well.

ds2500's for about $300 then a rear sway bar with some HD links and HD mounts. Proberly cost you near on $700-$800 but you'll get some fun out of it with some nice pads for breaking.

But seriously - IMO that unless you're doing track work or are a hardcore back street racer, you don't need to upgrade your brakes. - Just a personal opinion i know a lot of you will disagree.

You gotta look at what way you want to go with your car - more power? better handling? Rice it up?(hope not) better braking? Looks?

Then decide from there.

Rear sway bar, HD links and some good pads.

Will transform the way your car handles.
